Chapter 503 Spring Thunder Heavy Rain All Shrimp (1/2)

Chen Wenchao was very excited when he heard that he was going out to catch shrimp. His biggest wish was to have his own fishing boat.

Then catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money.

But since he followed Brother Yu, he has started a long road to farming. In the first two years, when he just started, Brother Yu also took him fishing, collecting the net and lowering the sticky net.

I’ve caught big bass at Xijia Reef, caught the expensive triple swordfish at the estuary, and caught a lot of groupers at the middle line of the strait.

But later, as the eel breeding factory was built and the ponds were built, Brother Yu no longer had time to fish.

And he was so busy that he didn't even have time to take care of the net placed on the tidal flat when he went to see it some time ago.

I found that there were many holes in the net and it was no longer possible to catch fish. I had to find time to collect it from the sea.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chen Wenchao relied on the sampan boat to reach the fishing raft and moved all the sticky nets and ground cages placed on the fishing raft onto the boat.

While he was working, the black girl, who was not very approachable and always hid in the kennel, wagged her tail at him and was particularly sticky to him, because he had raised the black girl since she was little, so she was very affectionate towards him. He is very affectionate.

After seeing Chen Wenchao on the fishing raft, he not only let out a "wow" sound of grievance, but even came over to show him a puppy in his mouth.

Zhou Xiaoying blushed, some idioms were obviously quite normal, but when spoken in his mouth, they were so inappropriate.

"Yes, don't worry, I also called Xiaochao and Shitou, both of them have better water skills than me."

Chen Wenchao took a look at the whole litter of puppies. The fate of these puppies when they grow up will be the same as that of the black girl.

Chen Wenchao looked at the puppy and found that the puppy's eyes were all open, but during this period, it was still drinking milk.

Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In the past two years, Duoyu has been like a top, spinning non-stop without any rest at all.

The food is often not delicious, because I am either busy with one thing or another.

"That's good."

But the black girl held the puppy in her mouth and made sure to let him hug it. Her aggrieved expression seemed to say: "I am very powerful, okay? Please give it a hug."

"Forget it then. If you stop being the village director because of me, the villagers will scold me to death."

"ah."

Li Duoyu couldn't help but pinch his little face, and at the same time pricked his little face with his beard residue:

"You kid, when you have toys, you forget about your father."

Seeing that Li Duoyu had already made a decision, Zhou Xiaoying did not persuade him anymore, but said: "Then be careful and try not to go to unfamiliar waters. Call Xiaochao too. He has good water skills and the two of them will be taken care of." ”

In fact, she wanted to say that during the recent period, the time has obviously become shorter and the frequency has become less.

But I also hope that he can be lazy now and take a good rest like before.

Before Li Duoyu set off, he looked at little Tutu sitting at the door holding the robot: "Your father is going to go fishing, so why don't you come over and give me a kiss?"

"Aren't you the village director? How can I give birth to a second child? This will affect your work."

Brother Yu has decided that when the dogs grow up a little, he will take them all to the shrimp farm and serve as watchdogs.

"What are you thinking about? How can this little thing tire me out?" Li Duoyu chuckled and said, "If I were really tired, I wouldn't take advantage of every opportunity and do bad things whenever I get the chance."

Seeing that she was thinking of resigning, Li Duoyu immediately said: "You'd better teach hard. Believe it or not, as soon as you resign, your parents will follow you every day and let you have another child."

Zhou Xiaoying wanted to help him, but found that she couldn't do anything. After thinking about it, she said seriously: "Duoyu, how about I quit my job and come to help you."

She didn't like him when he was a smuggler. When he came home every day, he would wear sunglasses and lie on the rocking chair to bask in the sun.

"Besides, Principal Zhu secretly told me that he will work hard to evaluate outstanding teachers for you this year."

It is conceivable that she cares more about herself than herself. When he thinks of this, Li Duoyu can't help but hold her in his arms and give her some tenderness.

Little Tutu hugged the robot and pressed the button on it, and an electronic voice came out: "Transform."

After Li Duoyu returned home from the dock, he changed into relatively worn clothes and put on his fishing boots.

Zhou Xiaoying was startled for a moment, and then said: "But you have been so busy recently, I'm afraid that you will be exhausted."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was planning to cook dinner at home, saw him dressed like this and asked in confusion: "It's getting dark and it's almost dinner time. Where are you going in this way?"

When he went to Hong Kong Island some time ago, he borrowed so much money to buy shrimp farming equipment. He must have been under a lot of pressure recently.

But she didn't dare to say such words, for fear that Li Duoyu would become more serious and eat some strange tonic soup later.

After hearing this, Li Duoyu's expression changed and he said with a hint of anger: "I can't resign. Your job of teaching and educating people is much greater than mine. If you want to resign, who will teach these stinky people on our island in the future?" Boy, who will teach our little Tutu."

Chen Wenchao picked up the puppy, touched it twice, and then put it on the fishing raft. Only then did the black girl take the puppy back.

Chen Wenchao touched the black girl.

Li Duoyu knew very well how much Zhou Xiaoying valued the profession of teacher, and she was willing to give up this profession for herself.

Li Duoyu said: "I was just going to tell you that I won't have to cook my food later. I'm going to go to sea to catch some shrimps."

During this period, when she returned home from teaching, she often found Li Duoyu either in the village committee or at the eel factory.

Li Duoyu smiled evilly and said: "There are many ways. We can fake a divorce while you are pregnant and then get married after the child is born."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "I wouldn't dare to lend you a hundred courage, but if you really want to have another child, I can give up my identity as the village director for you."

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "Catching shrimps is different from fishing. Shrimps hide in the sand during the day and only come out at night. It is almost impossible to catch shrimps when using the net during the day. I plan to catch them while the weather is still up." It’s completely dark, go out to sea early and set the net.”

After Zhou Xiaoying heard this, she twisted the inside of his thigh and said, "How dare you."

"If you see it, take the puppy back to the kennel quickly."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned slightly, a little worried: "Do we have to go out to sea to catch shrimp tonight? Can't we do it during the day tomorrow?"

The little Tutu, who was itchy from the sting, broke away and said slightly angrily: "I hate daddy."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu felt like he was struck by lightning, with a look of great shock on his face: "Tutu, dad bought you such a good toy, but you actually hate dad."

"Hate, hate."

Zhou Xiaoying gave him a disgusted look: "Tutu is only two years old. Why are you arguing with him? You don't know who it is. You can buy such an expensive toy."

Li Duoyu smiled: "Let's go."

After Li Duoyu stepped out of the courtyard, not long after, Zhou Xiaoying also imitated A Niang and prepared something to pay homage to.

Then he held the sacred basket in one hand and hugged little Tutu in the other: "Let's go, mother will take you to the Tianhou Palace to pay homage."

Li Duoyu first came to Lao Yang Restaurant and bought more than thirty light cakes.

If he hadn't eaten, Chen Wenchao and Shitou probably hadn't eaten either.

When he arrived at the dock, Chen Wenchao and Shitou were already waiting for him. They all changed into fishing clothes.

"Brother Yu, the sticky net and ground cage are ready."

Lao Lu, who was smoking on the pier, saw that Li Duoyu and the others were about to go out to sea. He couldn't help but said: "Duoyu, the weather seems to be a little changed tonight. It's better not to go out to sea. No one can catch any prawns in the past two days, so what? It’s definitely not a human problem, it’s a shrimp problem.”

The fishermen on the side also echoed: "Maybe they were all driven away by this shrimp girl. I heard that this thing is very ferocious in the sea. It can even break the shells of stone crabs."

After Lao Lu reminded him, Li Duoyu raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was really possible that the weather was going to change. I don't know when it happened. A particularly dark cloud appeared in the southern sky.

At first, Li Duoyu wanted to go out on a sampan boat. After seeing the weather, he said directly to Chen Wenchao and Shitou:

"Move the things to the fishing boat, and let's change this boat and go out to sea."

Chen Wenchao felt a little distressed and said: "Do you really want to change this fishing boat to go fishing for shrimps?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Change to this one."

When he first got the boat last year, Li Duo was really reluctant to build it, and his father, Lao Li, loved it so much that he took fresh water to the boat to do maintenance on the fishing boat almost every time he had time.

But Li Duoyu felt that the boat would still be used after all, and it would be a bit wasteful if it was only used for fishing or traveling.

This fishing boat is good in everything, but it is difficult to modify. It is really difficult to install a hydraulic net hoist on the boat. It needs to be taken to the shipyard for major modifications. Slowly reversing the fishing boat out of the harbor, Li Duoyu and the others arrived at the waters near Qixing Bay in less than half an hour.

Speaking of which, Li Duoyu learned most of his fishing experience from Old Tang in his previous life. He learned many fishing locations from chatting with others at the village entrance information office.

I heard from Lao Tang that there is a local yellow shrimp spawning ground here in Qixing Bay. Once the season arrives, the prawns will come here to mate and lay eggs.

Back then, he made a small fortune in Qixing Bay, but later, this spawning ground was taken over by a few unscrupulous electric tugboats.

After being electrocuted, wild shrimps could no longer be caught in Qixing Bay for a long time.

After arriving at Qixing Bay, Li Duoyu parked the boat. Judging from the fish finder, the water depth here was about 12 to 13 meters.

Li Duoyu took out two slender bamboo poles and tied them with hemp rope. A funnel similar to a Luoyang shovel was tied to the head of one of the bamboo poles.

This thing was a tool used to explore the bed when driving kelp piles, and Li Duoyu also brought it with him this time.

If you want to catch shrimps, it is very important to find the right bottom. If there is a hard bottom, there is no need to put a net at all. Shrimps will not stay in such an environment.

Shrimp are not a very powerful species in the sea. On the contrary, they are the daily food of countless fish.

Usually they lie down on the sand to hide, or look for food at the bottom of the sand layer. If it is a hard bottom, then you can basically give up and just change places.

Li Duoyu inserted it quite deep, and when he pulled it out, there was still some resistance.

When he pulled the funnel out of the sea, he found that the top layer was full of sand, but the further down, the more mud was mixed in.

Seeing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile. He felt that he was almost sure to catch shrimp tonight.

After all, up until now, Li Duoyu felt that Old Tang was quite reliable, and most of the fishing spots he mentioned were in stock.

When will he come to Dandan Island!

Logically speaking, he is the same age as me, so if he wants to marry into the family, he should have come by now.

Or is it because of him that Dandan Island has changed too much, causing Old Tang to fail to marry into the family?

It is really possible that Old Lu has set a very bad precedent. Now those who want to marry into Xiasha Village want to follow the standards of Old Lu's family.

Forget it, if I have the chance to meet him in the future, I will find a way to trick him over.

Seeing Li Duoyu using the long bamboo pole to probe the bottom, Shitou couldn't help asking: "Brother Yu, you are not planning to grow kelp here, are you?"

Facing this group of brothers who followed him, Li Duoyu was not afraid to teach them these experiences and patiently explained:

"Shrimps are hidden in the sand. Before catching shrimps, it is best to probe the bottom first. If it is muddy and sandy, then cast the net."

Shitou suddenly realized: "So that's the case. No wonder I rarely caught shrimps when I was fishing in the reef area before."

After probing the bottom, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao began to cast nets to catch shrimps, and the first one to be put was the ground trap.

They stuffed some smelly fish into the traps, then strung all the traps together and threw them into the sea one by one.

After putting the traps, they put down the bottom sticky nets, and when they were casting the nets, the surrounding sea was already very dark.

And they also noticed that there were two small fishing boats nearby casting nets to catch fish, and they might also come here to catch shrimps like them.

But they lit kerosene lamps on their boats, and the light was not very bright from a distance.

These fishermen might be fishermen near Qixing Bay, from Shangqi Village nearby, or from Xiagong Village.

And everyone was quite tacit, all casting nets in parallel, so that the sticky nets would not fight, and this was also a tacit understanding among fishermen.

After Li Duoyu and his team cast the sticky nets, the weather changed directly, and the wind suddenly became stronger, and the clothes were blown rustling.

Almost at the same time, the waves also became bigger, and under the illumination of the searchlight, the white-headed waves could be vaguely seen.

Generally, fishermen would choose to return to the port immediately when encountering such waves, and would not dare to continue floating on the sea, because it was too dangerous.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Lao Lu for reminding me. If it weren't for him, he might have driven a sampan out today. If he encountered such white-headed waves, even an old fisherman would be shaken and vomited.

Logically speaking, when encountering such big winds and waves, those small sampans must return to the port.

But Li Duoyu found that the two small fishing boats did not return to the port, but were still floating on the sea. From a distance, the kerosene lamps kept going up and down with the waves.

After seeing this scene, Shi Tou couldn't help but cursed: "It's white-headed waves, and they still don't go back. Are these people going to die?"

Li Duoyu frowned tightly. It was okay during the day, but at night, this situation was really too dangerous.

What Li Duoyu and others didn't know was that these fishermen had just put the net not long ago, and they originally wanted to go back.

But when a "big ship" suddenly came, they didn't dare to leave, because they had just had a three or four hundred meter sticky net stolen two days ago.

Now, after casting the net, we dare not go too far away, and everyone has to watch nearby.

The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and Li Duoyu and his group of people all hide in the cab. The cab of this fishing boat is quite spacious.

It is not a problem to squeeze ten people in. If you tidy up the things at the bow and lay a mat, you can sleep directly.

This boat is still produced by an island country, and the stability of the hull is really good. The wind and waves outside are really big, but it doesn’t feel as obvious as imagined on the fishing boat.

After entering the cab, Shitou’s eyes lit up, and he kept touching and looking around, as if he was touching some big treasure.

"Brother Yu, this boat really costs more than 100,000 yuan."

Li Duoyu nodded: "More than 100,000 yuan does not include import tax. If tariffs are included, it will be almost 200,000 yuan."

"Fuck. It's so expensive. It seems that I can't afford it in this life."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Work hard. In the future, when our company makes a lot of money, I will buy one for each of you."

Shitou's eyes lit up: "Really, you didn't lie to us?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

A group of people rested in the cab for about four hours. Li Duoyu looked at his watch and said: "It's almost done, we can pull up the net."

Chen Wenchao directly used a hook to pick up the buoy. Because the fishing boat did not have a net-pulling machine, he could only pull the net manually.

He and Shitou took turns pulling the sticky net, but after just a few meters, Shitou excitedly shouted: "Brother Yu is awesome, there are really shrimps here."

Shitou held one of the shrimps and said: "It's really a big yellow shrimp, so big."

After seeing the big yellow shrimp in Shitou's hand, Li Duoyu was also very excited. If there were shrimps here, this year's shrimp farming plan would be settled.

There were seven or eight shrimps hanging on almost every meter of sticky net, so you can imagine how many shrimps there are in this sea area.

Li Duoyu naturally hoped that the more the better, so that the quality of the broodstock he could find would be better.

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the dark sky, and almost three seconds later, everyone heard a thunder.

Spring thunder!

Almost at the same time, everyone could clearly feel that the temperature dropped instantly, and the entire sea surface seemed to be humid.

After a while, bean-sized raindrops hit the deck, making a popping sound, and in just a moment, everyone's coats were all wet.

Spring thunder usually occurs after the Waking of Insects. It is caused by the rise in spring temperature, the strengthening of warm and humid air, and the fierce confrontation with cold air, which triggers strong vertical convection of air.

If there is spring thunder, it is usually accompanied by heavy rain, and the most terrible is strong convection weather.

Li Duoyu returned to the cab as soon as possible and brought raincoats to everyone. In such cold weather, if Chen Wenchao gets wet in the rain all night, he will not be able to stand it even if his physique is good.

"Fuck, it's over!"

"It's over."

At this time, Shitou suddenly shouted: "Brother Yu, the lights of the fishing boat that was not far from us before suddenly disappeared."

Everyone looked in the direction of the original fishing boat. There was really no light on the dark sea.

Their intuition told them that something bad might have happened to the fishing boat opposite. (End of this chapter)
